The week that has been, a lot of cryptocurrency activity has been witnessed. On Friday 8th, Bitcoin was soaring at the heights of $18,300 per piece. This is the highest that Bitcoin has ever been. Come Monday and Bitcoin found itself fighting to stay above the $15,000 mark. By the time 14th December was coming to a close, it was easy to tell who were the real gainers and losers of the week.

In the world of cryptocurrency, there is no one coin that can be said to be a consistent gainer or loser. In week 49, Einsteinium gained the most because its growth was of over 390%. In week 50, this altcoin has taken a downward trend and it had reached $1.6 by Thursday 1800 hrs UTC. This shows how volatile and young the crypto market is. Each and every currency, even Bitcoin which is the most stable, is mapping its own path to acceptability, adaptability, and success. Without much ado, here are the main gainers of the week,

XP cryptocurrency

On Monday, XP started the week at a reasonable price of $0.000014. This is good given that at the start of the year, the price of the coin was $3.9e-8. This means there were so many zeros after the decimal that your head would hurt by just counting them. In short, XP’s price has improved significantly.

XP cryptocurrency is not like the well known alternative currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. It specializes in cryptocurrency mining which it doesn’t explain how it works. XP developers say that currently, it is concentrating on Bitcoin and Ethereum mining only. The current price of the coin as at 1800hrs UTC Thursday, December 14th was $0.00017. This represents an increase of 916% in the past 7 days. The market capitalization stands at $32 million.

The volumes traded in the last seven days were $5.5 million.

In the course of the week, this crypto which has a new block lattice architecture has grown at a rate of 335% a week.
